“I know I’m too old for that but f*ck I love Chance [the Rapper].” One thing that struck us about Matt Mastrud, known formally (informally?) as Punchgut, was his honesty. There wasn’t an internal edit about how he was sounding to us, there was just the man, and consequently, the artist. A mixed media artist from North Fargo recognized for his concert posters, large scale spray painted installations, Wandering Ghost gallery exhibit, and soon-to-be Drekker can art, Punchgut treads the line between dark and light in a unique way. There’s humor in his pieces, even ones that deal with suicide, and it was an honor to be able to glimpse him at work in his home studio.
